What is Art?
- “Consciously or unconsciously, the artist gives form to the nature and values of his time, which in their turn form him.” Carl Jung
- “Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can only be explored by those willing to take the risks.” Mark Rothko
- “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Pablo Picasso
- “My belief is that it is most important for an artist to develop an approach and philosophy about life-if he has developed that philosophy he does not put paint on canvas, he puts himself on canvas.” Jacob Lawrence
